Café De Toi "My house is your house"

Not really a bar and not really a home. The owner, Odalís makes you feel extra special and just meeting her and watching her in action makes a visit to this bar worthwhile. She is very personable and she makes the bar, which is also her home, what it is. It is best after hours when the home fills up with a great variety of humans including Dominican society, the rich and famous, locals and tourists, no matter who you are Odalis makes you feel special. There is a great variety of music and if you want to hear something just ask and she usually has it. A very friendly place to go have a drink and do some dancing. If you come to the Zona Colonial and go out in the evenings this is a must-visit place.

Price: Expensive but worth it. I suggest that you pay for your drinks as you get them. Sometimes it gets very crowded and things get confusing.

With only a small door to enter this Spanish restaurant does not look like much from the outside but when you enter the ambiance is very cozy. Entering, the bar on the left the small dining room and further back a larger room for groups, you will feel as if you are truly in Spain. Have a drink at the bar or a fine meal served by very attentive servers. The owner is usually on site and always seems to have a smile and a nice hello for all. When you sit at the bar the aroma of the Spanish Serrano Hams curing hanging from the ceilings is heaven.

A very elegant upscale Italian restaurant, the menu is as impressive as the ambiance of the elegant interior. The top floor has a terrace with an impressive view or the surrounding Plaza España. There is an outdoor patio where dining is a little less formal. Their menu includes pizza cooked in a brick oven and all the typical Italian fare.

Enjoy oven baked Italian-style pizzas and other specialties from the chef. They have a large selection of fresh handmade pizza. The Panzerotti, a typical dish of the Puglia region in southern Italy, are pieces of dough stuffed pizza and are quite tasty. The Italian Pizzeria is located in an old restored colonial home. This is another place owned by the Segafredo family. They opened this space separate from the lively restaurant on Calle el Conde to be more peaceful and laid back. They have large family tables with seating for just over 20 people and some smaller tables as well.

Price: Mid-range - Credit Cards accepted.
